Protein Blueberry Lemon Scones🫐🍋
These lightened up scones have a lighter, fluffier texture than a traditional scone but all the flavor! They also have 14 g of protein per serving!
How to Make This:
Ingredients:
2 cups Self-rising flour
4 Tbsp Lakanto Classic Monkfruit Sweetener With Erythritol(for a sweeter scone, double)
2 tsp Lemon zest
1 1⁄2 tsp Fresh lemon juice
1 cup Fage Total 0% Nonfat Greek strained yogurt plain
2 large Eggs, 1 for scones, 1 to brush on
1⁄4 cup Unsweetened vanilla almond milk ***EDIT*** I've reduced the amount from 1/3 to 1/4 cup
1 scoopful Perfect Isopure, Creamy Vanilla (or protein powder of choice)
1 Tbsp Baking powder
1 cup Unsweetened frozen blueberries, or fresh
1 tsp Vanilla extract
2 Tbsp Salted butter, very cold
2 tsp White Sparkling Sugar
cooking spray
Instructions:
In a large bowl, add and stir together the flour, protein powder, sweetener and baking powder.
Zest and juice lemon.
Add the lemon zest to flour mixture.
In a medium bowl, add in 1 egg, almond milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla and lemon juice.
Whisk together until well combined.
Add the very cold butter to dry ingredients and cut in with a pastry cutter or the back of a fork until you have pea sized pieces of butter.
Make a well in the center. Add in wet ingredients and stir until just incorporated.
Gently fold in the blueberries with a spatula.
Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper.
Press out into rectangle about 1 inch thick and fold one side over followed by the other. The dough will be VERY sticky, spraying your hands with cooking spray helps.
Press back out into an inch thick rectangle the opposite direction and repeat the folding. This "kneads" the dough without overworking it.
Press back out to a 1 inch thick rectangle and slice the dough into 8 pieces.
Place on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray, about an inch apart. Scones baked closer together on the tray forces them to rise upwards and not outwards.
Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sparkling sugar.
Bake at 425°F for 15-22 minutes, or until the tops and sides are lightly golden.
Cool on the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Microwave to reheat.
Enjoy!
